4. Insert rubber washer (E) into open end of the stainless steel braided hose (D). Thread hose (D) onto front of tank (B).
Hand tighten, and then tighten with wrench 1/2 turn.

the suction port on the pump. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn't strain the pump
body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock
the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or a PTFE-based pipe joint compound. Joints
must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
You have just completed the suction piping for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go discharge pipe and tank
connections.
1. Install the pressure gauge in the pump body.
2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
3. Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe. Make
sure that the foot valve works freely.
4. Lower the pipe into the well until the strainer is five feet
above the bottom of the well. It should also be at least 10
feet below the well's water level while the pump is running
in order to prevent the pump from sucking air. Install a
sanitary well seal.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to
the drop pipe.
If the distance from the well to the pump is substantial,
add a priming tee at the pump. Connect the pipe from the
well to the pump suction port, using the fewest possible
fittings – especially elbows – as fittings increase friction in
the pipe. The suction pipe should be at least as large as
